Rare Gem Alert! ?



ROB @ 504.220.0422
I Have a a 24 hour hold on this as a CA museum wishes to buy it, Looking over cars they would like to trade. Not for Sale until this Hold is Lifted...

HOLD IS LIFTED,MAINLY THEY WANT TO TRADE PRE WAR CARS
NOT INTERESTED, CAR IS FOR SALE 3/9/2024

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ENTIRE AD LISTING!!

 CARFAX AND BADVIN FULL REPORTS AT END OF AD

Just had brand new Pilot Sport 4S installed on the front. Vastly superior to the Michelin PS 3's the car came with. These tires came out in 2021 and are considered the finest made, Plus road hazard, and a 30K mi. warranty. The original PS3' s had decent tread but the car deserved better... 5/15/24

!!!TOOK CAR INTO MERCEDES OF NEW ORLEANS 240 miles ago. AND HAD A COMPLETE END OF WARRANTY SERVICE. oil service, filters, all fluids checked and topped and complete diagnostic scan. Full undercarriage scan for ANY leaks or problems. Perfect , As New(1,200 MILES SINCE LAST SRVC 12 months ago)AND A COMPLETE END OF WARRANTY TOP TO BOTTOM INSPECTION DONE.  (JAN 19 2024 Factory WARRANTY ENDS) TOOK 3 HOURS. ZERO CODES, FAULTS, LEAKS, NOTHING. I EVEN HAD THEM TEST THE LITHIUM BATTTERY TO SEE IF IF IT WAS 100%, PERFECT! Only 35 made of the 2nd gen C217.5 S65 Coupe, and my research shows this may be the last ever made. Never to come back!! MB has not been helpful except to say it was built in the final week, of which only 3 were made. I have driven her for 16 months and never had a single issue to ever be fixed under warranty. These S coupes are far more aluminum extensive and weigh well over 400 pound less then the boat S65 sedan. The sedan is to be driven in, The coupe is the more genuine drivers car, fun lightweight S65(minus another 45 pounds with the ceramic carbon brakes vs steel

!!!!!She is since been garaged and covered and hooked up to a Lithium Battery trickle charger, and started and warmed up every 2 weeks

!!!!!She was sold halfway in the 2020 model year as may be last S65 Coupe made
Mercedes only sold the final 2020(Euro Only) 130 S65 V12 4 door final build sedans that were built at the same time, Title reads "2019" though.!!! However the S class Coupe was sold in the 1,000's with the 4.0 V8, AMG and otherwise through 2021. The Bentley. Rolls killer S65 V2 AMG Coupe is now gone forever....

No S65 V12 coupe was titled after 2019. Most titled as 2019 's were built in 2018 . This car was sold in early 2020(Built mid 19).5/19 was the end of production of AMG V12's except for Pagani. A non AMG V12 cheaper internals and turbos is made for the S680 Maybach which new is still cheaper than this car was. Ebay will not allow 2019.9. So i listed as a 2020 as it is newer than most 2020's and it is very well the last S65 coupe made for the public. EVER. No more AMG V12's,(unless they run on clean air) outside of the $5,00,000.00 Pagani Huayra and Ultima(already sold out) and now this engine is used in the all new "25 Pagani Ultima @4.5 million(But already sold out)anf now bringing 3 mill over MSRP which AMG still makes this final version identical V12 279.5 engine for.,(Only thing changed is smaller turbos on same manifolds and revised electronics to unleash the nearly 1000 HP potential the car has.) and no more full sized S coupes ever, until they can figure out how to make them out of pig entrails or something to recycle. Welcome to the woke world of 4 cyl and electric soulless cars for the next 50 years. And AMG V12 gone forever. ) Despite early Cl65's and S65's claiming the Pagano engine. They did not! They had the m275 engine . Pagani only used the 279 and 279.5 engine. As the final iteration had all forged internals, and revised larger Turbos, injectors , etc!!

Only Ferrari, Lamborghini,T.50 and Benz design the V12's from scratch. BMW,  Rolls  use 2 straight 6's joined ay the crank....Bentley are a two 6 VW cyls joined 0t the crank .Bugatti use 3 VW Passant engines.

This is a wholesale drop it now price, down from original $175K ask. Below my WS cost from MBUSA. It took me 11 months of negotiating with MBUSA to get them off of $225K


I just ordered 2 new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for the front. There was good tread on the original Michelin but getting thin. Also the 4S is is a far superior tire to what originally came on the car  5.02.2024..Close to a $1,000 installed

THIS WAS THE ONLY S65 V12 AMG COUPE IN NORTH AMERICA UNDER ORIGINAL FACTORY MERCEDES WARRANTY .Expired  1/19/2024. All other 65 coupes expired over a year ago 
 AS IT MAY BE THE LAST ONE MADE.  ONLY 35 OF THE MASSIVELY UPGRADED 2ND GEN OF THE FINAL MB S65. Actually 36 , as one was made for the Mercedes museum
V12 COUPES WERE EVER MADE. NO MORE S COUPES, NO MORE AMG V12'S...EVER!! 
THESE ARE RADICALLY DIFFERANT FROM THE 1ST GEN 2015-17 MODELS. Only a few 18's which were actually early 19's were ever made and GONE forever. Not just a complete cosmetic workover but 100's and 100's of electronic and drivetrain changes made.
4 year warranty just ended but has a Comprehensive emissions 8 years total 80K mile  CA warranty the covers turbos injection, ECU most of engine and tranny.
WARRANTY START DATE WAS IN EARLY 2020, .  Warranty expired a few months ago. Had a full end if warranty inspection and service. But just like the 15 months i have driven her, not a single issue of any sort.
Production was May 13 2019,(May 2019 is when production of 2020 models commence for North America,) (The S65 V12 Coupe was never made after 2019 model year!! mostly 2018 production)
Only 35 2nd gen upgraded lightweight aluminum coupes were made. However rumor has a 36th was made for MB museum as last V12 S class coupe ever! Almost all 2019 S65 coupes were made in 2018.
 May well be last retail S65 Coupe made in world. Still working on documentation. MB not being helpful. They said S65 V12 Coupe production ended prior to to 5/19, but in all the history and data plate. , but this is the actual build date. Sold new in early 2020.

Over $273,000 New, AS NEW,


NEVER HURT OR PAINTED ON!! 
Two light 1" scuffs on lower passenger front bumper. No other flaws, I have reduced price by another $500/on top of recent $8K drop but is probably a sub $250 recondition. Both have been touched up.

Finest Gran Turismo ever built. Very Rare. Only 35, (not counting the one that went to the MB museum) of the completely re-engineered final  2nd gen facelift S65 V12 BiTurbo C217.5 Coupes were ever built. ..... Possibly last one ever built. There will never be a another V12 S class coupe, gone in favor of small engine hybrids.(Only $ 4-7 million Pagani Huayra and Ultima will receive this exact M279 AMG engine from here on)Despite hte claimd from pre 3026 6.0 V23 being used by Pagani. NOT TRUE: Those were the 275 engines, much better than the engine earlier but Pagani for Twin Turbo used only the 279.5 found on this car. The extra forged bits Pagani wanted were used across  the board for the final 150 or so MB's that used this engine. When u see a CL65 saying its a Pagani engine that like saying the V12 in a BMW sedan is the same V12 used in the McLaren F1. Not true by a long shot. The diff is the McLaren engine was heavily modified by BMW/ The Pagani 279 was deemed perfect for their 5 million dollar car right out of the crate. But the MB AMG V12 Huayra and Ultima are all sold out and bring almost double original MSRP now.

Please be aware of after market tuners(Yeah Brabus, talking to you) oversized aftermarket wheels, wheel spacers, will destroy the active hydraulic suspension. 
Oversized wheels larger than 20" will adversely affect handling and add up to 36 pounds per corner in unsprung weight. The magic suspension is made for the forged(lightweight AMG alloys of 20". Anything larger and you risk pre mature failure.
Any mods to engine(tuning) voids the entire power train. Many times after an accident you will see modified  wheels, trim, bumpers etc. especially wheels after an accident

My car is bone stock with ZERO warranty ending mods/no mods of any sort.

 S class 6.0 AMG hand built Twin Turbo V12 Pagani Hueyra Coupe / S65 AMG V12 Turbo Coupe is gone forever
in favor of 4 cyl. 4 door hybrids, and electric vehicles(Gag!)
  

 Just serviced, fresh MB AMG Oil, Filters, Inspection, Just scanned. .zero faults


Hard to get an answer from MB . But there are NO 2019 V12 Coupe 4 digit prefix VINS above 341. This
is possibly the LAST M279.5( Final , most improved, most powerful) AMG V12 Twin turbo S class C217.5 Coupe ever made. Only 35 made world wide in the last year(2019) of the heavily revised 2nd gen S class C217.5 . Truly hand built to
decimate the VW/Bentley Continental GT, and Rolls Wraith.
Never to return, as a Mercedes, only as a Maybach or 4 million Pagani Super Car
.There are NO serial numbers above this meaning quite possibly the last made in the world .
 

This is not an auction, but an Ad. You can buy at anytime, These 2nd Gen , post
face lift cars are VERY different from the 2014-2017 S class. the cockpit has X3 the definition and X4 the contrast over the old displays. The operating system is entirely diff, as well as the radar cruise(much better),self driving), driving dynamics, shift speeds, front and rear ends, OLED taillights and hundreds of other changes. 

Remember these very rare 2nd gen C217.5 V12 S65 coupes cost $110,000 more than a comparable same year S63 AMG V8 W222 sedan and $87,000 more than a comparable S63 AMG same year Coupe.!
Plus add $35,000 for the Optional Carbon Ceramic Brakes, full external carbon fiber package, heated windshield, Burmeister High End 3D, Night Vision, Designo Interior, Swarovski Crystal Headlights, Maybach Wood, Magic Ride Suspension(Only available on S65 in North America and England) Remote software upgrade, remote start and diagnostics, remote setting of all features. and much more.
These S65 coupes also cost $31,000 more than a same year S65 V12  4 door sedan.(plus Carbon fiber, Carbon Ceramic brakes, etc.)Retail the brakes will run an extra $6,000 used. To convert to these brakes from the steel brakes runs about $27,000


You must call me @ 504.220.0422  if you have any questions.
Please don't confuse this with the 2018-2021 2nd generation S class Coupe V8's (S63 and S560) S class coupes that they made 17,000 of.


Rob

Also be careful of the many flood cars listed in Texas and Salvage cars with clean titles. Also salvage cars retitled as rebuilt. These are junk/salvage only cars. Beware of fraudsters/salvage sellers on E bay . This car has had one owner: Mercedes Benz, and is the only S65 coupe with factory warranty remaining till 2024.

Another point is all the convertible S classes carry over 742 pounds in extra weight to try to stiffen the chassis with the roof cut off. This means NO S65 or Maybach convertible has magic curve or magic ride. The extra steel welded on the bottom excludes the best feature of the car!!You will notice most for sale are the Convertibles that have serious chassis flex. and Be careful of cars from the snow belt. The salt in the road plays havoc on the undercarriage and suspension. Lots of rot. This is a Southern California car her whole like except the few months she has been in warm/no snow New Orleans .
NEVER DAMAGED OR HURT, 1 OWN, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR.
There is one touched up scratch and 1 small scuff next to it
 low down on the passenger bumper. No wheel curbing, dings or bumper nicks, or any other flaws. Never been painted on /always garaged and covered. The S coupe is much more aluminum intensive than the sedan: why they cost much more and are almost 500 pounds lighter. The convertible is actually HEAVIER than the S sedan!!

Up for sale is a one owner Southern California car . Never hurt or damaged. Only 18,000 miles . Sold new in late  Jan. 2020. even though ttiled as a 2019, but being the last one made possibly was sold halfway in the 2020 model year.. no 20's were made in the coupe. 

Only the final 124 S65(final Edition) big sedans were made to be sold as 2020's. ,(I believe were only sold in Europe and the middle east and all pre sold) . 20!9 S65 V12's have no   warranty left (most sold in 2018) and have usually had multiple owners.. This is under full factory Mercedes warranty till Jan. 19 2024 and ONE owner. Not a snow rusted or flood car like many for sale. Please don't waste my time and i won't waste yours. Fell free to call @ 504.220.0422, or 504.866.2777,  Rob. Written/Text inquires take me too long to type and will not be responded to. 

!!This was a Mercedes factory reacquired in California to foster customer good will. You will see and sign the factory disclosure for this. owner complained of noise Park distance made. NO issues found!!!!(ZERO) Only California has this bizarre Cons, prot law. 2/3 's of all lease cars in CA are reacquired under this. S65 just had a full maintenance with ALL Mercedes oils and filters.1200 MILES AGO. Another full service and end of warranty inspection was done 15 miles ago. Zero issues. I have found nothing to be done undder warranty, and I am very picky. It took over 11 months of hard negotiating with Daimler Benz to get this car. This is the 1st used car I have purchased in 4 years, because of Covid, Stupid dealer prices, chip shortage, etc. 1st one that met ALL my criteria. Full MB new car warranty is untouched except the park distance receives 1 extra year. Also since this is s CA born car virtually everything on the Drivetrain receives another add. 3 years of warranty (7  total)!!

Assignment paperwork(instructions for DMV) has been reissued with NO buyback language and is a clear title in virtually every state. Issued by Mercedes Benz  of North America...

I only buy from the factory manufacturer(MBUSA BMWNA PorscheNA Porsche, Ferrari ,) NEVER from a private or owned franchised dealer. MBUSA gives full disclosure to the cars condition and give it a CPO like inspection for damages(current or prior) Never painted on, never damaged.  Tires are 65% new in back Brand new fronts(less than 40 miles Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with road hazard  and 30K mi warranty). Carbon ceramic pads are original and 70% as new. factory carbon ceramic pads are about $250 and last a very long time. Replacing pads is the same as any other car ..39mins or less. Rotors are good up to 300,000 miles so of course no wear at all. Interior as new, no scuffs, scratches or wear. New MB carbon ceramic pads run about $355 but last 5X as long as normal pads, all while giving you vastly better stopping. These Brembo Carbon ceramic rotors will last up to 300,000 miles if not abused . I would say given the unavailability of used cars at auction over 1/2 of all cars listed are previous salvage, theft recovery, etc, with massive amounts of paintwork and MANY undisclosed issues. This is a one owner documented CA car with a meticulous inspection By MBUSA WITH ZERO ISSUES.

AMG S65 Coupe Performance


The S65 Coupe achieves its incredible performance without the aid of Mercedes' 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system since the S65's engine is simply too powerful for the AWD's components to handle. There's something innately appealing and old-school about a 6.0-liter V12 bi-turbo sending all 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, though, which is exactly the case here. An AMG SpeedShift seven-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles is standard.

Floor it and the S65 will hit 60 mph in around 3.6 seconds .More impressive 80-140mph in 4.3 seconds. It's a seriously impressive performance from a large, heavy luxo-barge. Once on the move, the S65 displays unreal passing power and will blast past slower traffic without breaking a sweat. Overall, it's hard to fault the S65's acceleration and power, especially as it's delivered with so much refinement and poise. With a V12-engined S-Class sedan nearing extinction (a Final Edition 4 Door was announced in the second quarter of 2019), we should appreciate this powerplant for as long as we still have it. Only the new 2023 Maybach 680 "S" @ $600,000 will receive this AMG/Pagani V12 twin turbo engine. And of course the 2.5 million dollar Pagani Huayra with a Titanium exhaust and smaller turbos.

Mercedes' Magic Body Control boasts a curve tilting function that significantly reduces body roll through corners, allowing you to carry more speed through the twisties than anticipated for such a big coupe. The system also uses a camera to scan the road ahead for impending bumps and prepares the adaptive suspension for them. Pushed hard, the S65's limits are lower than in the more sporting S63 Coupe. The steering offers little feedback, but that's par for the course in a car such as this. On smooth roads in Comfort mode, the S65 wafts along peacefully, with vault-like refinement adding to the sensation of being entirely cut off from the outside world. In the sportier suspension modes, and riding on 20-inch wheels, you do feel some sharper bumps filter through to the cabin. This is still a magnificent car to drive and be driven in, however, and when driven more modestly - relying on torque rather than outright power - and guiding rather than thrashing it, the S65 is right in its element.


eating and Interior Space

It only takes one look inside the S-Class' interior - and by extension this S65 Coupe - to understand why Mercedes remains the benchmark at this elite end of the market. Seating four, the coupe's beautiful cabin offers brilliant comfort for the driver and front-seat passenger, with supportive, cushy seats and plentiful leg and headroom. At the back, the S65 Coupe can accommodate two passengers, but the legroom is average and the headroom will be tight for people over six-feet tall. Foot space is also limited at the back. Getting into the back is made easier thanks to large, wide-opening doors and front seats that move forward electrically, but some twisting and turning will still be required.


AMG S65 Coupe Trunk and Cargo Space

As large as the S65 Coupe may be, a lot of its size is taken up by a long hood. The much shorter rear-end and means a trunk capacity of only 19.4 cubic feet, so while 2 large suitcases will fit, you'll need to be strategic about what else you put in there. At least there is a reasonably wide trunk opening and an electronic trunk closer.

Small-item storage is quite generous, with large door pockets, a large center console, and a well-sized fold-down armrest with integrated cup holders at the back.

AMG S65 Coupe Infotainment and Features

AMG S65 Coupe Infotainment and Features

Features

For once, there's a Mercedes-Benz that doesn't require too much time analyzing the options list. Of course, the S65's price of almost $275,000 (With Carbon Brakes, Designo, Carbon exterior trim, etc.) has a lot to do with the vast range of standard amenities catering to the driver and passengers' every whim. Both front seats have 14-way power adjustment with a memory system, six massage programs, heating and ventilation. There's also heating for the rear seats, front armrests and steering wheel. Other standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, soft-close doors, remote start via the Mercedes Me mobile app, hands-free access, and a power rear-window sunshade. Unlike lesser S-Class coupes, the S65 also gets a standard surround-view camera system, a head-up display, and the contents of the extensive Driver Assistance Package that comes with a host of driver aids. Despite so much to play with, Mercedes has still found some options to throw your money at. Among them are lightweight, less un sprung weight Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Carbon Exterior pkgs, Designo options, Hand stitched leather headliner, Maybach flowing wood etc.. An electrically heated windshield and optional wood steering wheel are also available. You would think for over a quarter million dollars US it would be standard.

First Ride: 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class Prototype, Now More Semi-Autonomous Than Ever


 The current S-class makes do with Generation 3 gear, which means it also has adaptive cruise control that can bring the car to a stop, albeit mixed with lower-bandwidth lane-keeping assist and fewer sensors. That changes with the 2018 S-class, which leapfrogs the E-class with Generation 4.5 equipment and software.

According to Mercedes, the hardware installed on the revised S-class is more or less the same as the sensor package on the E-class. What adds the “.5” to its generation name is newer software; it makes for a smarter lane-change feature and smoother, newly map-based adaptive cruise control. Because Mercedes just loves to assign wordy names to its tech, the upgraded features are called Active Lane Change Assist and Active Distance Assist

Distronic 4.5

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class

Where the S-class’s Active Lane Change Assist differs from its E-class counterpart is its ability to merge more deftly into an adjacent lane. Oh, and initiating an automatic lane change now requires a single tap of the turn signal stalk, as one might use for a three-blink-to-pass signal. The system will attempt to change lanes within 10 seconds of a driver’s request and now shows that a lane change is being attempted via graphics in the digital gauge cluster display. As on the E-class, Active Lane Change Assist can be turned off—it is available whenever Active Steering Assist (which is lane-keeping assist) is activated—and, unlike Tesla’s system, it has a rear-facing radar module for tracking faster-moving traffic in adjacent lanes.

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class

As for Active Distance Assist Distronic, it has a new trick up its sleeve: the ability to use map data to slow the S-class from the driver-set cruise-control speed for corners and roundabouts, instead of only reacting to objects or other cars ahead. Mercedes is cashing in on its investment in Nokia’s Here map data—an investment made alongside several other automakers—putting the data’s speed limit, road curvature, and other information to work informing Distronic. The goal is greater comfort and a more natural-feeling experience with adaptive cruise control.
Amusingly, Mercedes has tuned Active Distance Assist Distronic to change its behavior depending on the selected drive mode. Leave your S-class in Comfort mode, and speed adaptations for curves and turns are gentle; flick over to Sport mode, and the system brakes later and accelerates back to its set speed with more aggression. During our ride in a camouflaged 2018 S600 Maybach prototype, the speed adjustments were preternaturally smooth, even in the spicier Sport setting, and it really felt as if a (good) human driver were manning the pedals.

Tech upgrades are also largely parallel and identical to what we've seen in the sedan and I've already gone into great detail on that in the first take. For those too lazy to click through the previous link, the TL;DR is a new generation Command infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch displays mated to a single ultra-wide glass panel, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a new Touch Control control scheme on steering wheel that allows complete control of Command without removing hands from the wheel.

Oh, and there's also the new Energizing Comfort system. This system ties in climate controls, audio settings and playlists, massage seats, 64-color ambient lighting, cabin fragrances and more into six presets aimed at creating moods such as freshness, vitality, joy or comfort. It's sort of like a "drive mode selector for your emotions."

Meanwhile, the Mercedes-Benz driver assistance systems have been kicked into overdrive for this generation. The Distronic adaptive cruise control system, for example, gains the ability to adjust speed based on changing speed limits or bend coming up in the route. The steering assist system can now keep you in your lane even if the road line are unclear or non-existent and has been upgraded to follow curves with tighter radii than before.

However, the Mercedes-AMG S 65's crown jewel is the hand-built V12 engine purring behind its new AMG Panamericana grille. The 6.0-liter biturbo V12 makes 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque,(Dyno shows this to be closer to 675 crank and 800 lb/ft)  which it sends through an AMG Speedshift 100ms Plus 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. Top speed is stated at 186 mph and a 0-60 sprint happens in 3.8 seconds.

The V12 breathes through an AMG Sport Exhaust and and the chassis rides on an AMG Sport Suspension. The latter features the automaker's Magic Body Control adaptive damping and a curve-tilting function that allows the car to lean into turns, keeping the body flat through corners

Popping into the Sport or Sport Plus drive modes wakes the engine up a bit and I was able to experience a bit of the V12's roar. The S 65  felt very settled on the tightly twisting hills above Malibu. 

The S 65 ends up feeling somewhat Mercedes-Maybach,Bentley GTC but Mercedes-AMG is always there with you, which is fine once I appreciated the luxuriousness of the V12 around town and on the highway.

AMG S65 Coupe Safety

Although the S65 Coupe hasn't been evaluated by the NHTSA or the IIHS for crashworthiness, there's little reason to doubt that this is one of the safest cars on the road. For starters, there's Mercedes' excellent safety reputation, with the likes of the 2019 E-Class being named a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. Plus, there's the S65's barrage of standard safety gear.

We'll start with what you'd expect: ten airbags, brake assist, tire pressure monitoring, rain-sensing wipers, LED lighting, and a rearview camera are all there. After that, it's the brand's endless list of driving aids that will be fighting for your attention - literally. Attention assist monitors up to 70 parameters of driving behavior to alert of drowsiness, with both visual and audible warnings. Active steering assist works with Distronic adaptive cruise control by steering the car to either stay in its lane or to follow the car in front when road markings aren't visible. All of the other usual driver-assist aids are there, among them blind-spot monitoring, active lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive high-beam assist. A surround-view camera system, Pre-Safe, night view assist, crosswind assist, and evasive steering assist

What is Mercedes-Benz Night View Assist®?

What is Mercedes-Benz Night View Assist®?

Driving down a poorly illuminated road, it can be challenging to see deer and even people crossing. This dilemma poses consequences for vehicles, animals, drivers, and pedestrians. Unfortunately, such a scenario has proven itself life-threatening in far too many cases.

Hence, the creators at Mercedes-Benz have crafted a multi-functioning system that allows drivers to better detect animals and pedestrians on the road—Mercedes-Benz Night View Assist®. Employing a thermal camera, the Night View Assist® function detects infrared radiation emitted from humans and large animals. Because infrared radiation is invisible to humans and large animals, Night View Assist® does not risk blinding drivers, pedestrians, or animals. Instead, it makes pedestrians and animals visible to drivers that otherwise would not be—and thus—reduces collisions. Night View Assist® allows drivers to see otherwise invisible people and animals by projecting an image on vehicles’ speedometers. More specifically, the system translates what it can detect through heat into a clear, visible image drivers can see. It is this translation that permits drivers to know exactly where humans within a 160 m radius stand and exactly where animals within a 100 m radius stand. To further avoid collisions, the Night View Assist® features beckons animals and people to move out of harm’s way by flashing warning lights.

Overall, Mercedes-Benz is committed to keeping its drivers safe. Now, at just the switch of a button, drivers can activate the Mercedes Benz Night View Assist® system. Combining classic principles of physics, innovative technology, and a passion for security, the Mercedes Benz Night View Assist® acts as a groundbreaking mechanism for protecting lives.

Burmester High-End 3D Surround Soundsystem (2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class) review


A potent German partnership

While the coupe gets a ring radiator tweeter partnered with a midrange driver in each of the front doors,  The coupe also has extra woofers positioned in the rear doors, which isn’t possible in the 4 door sedan.

‘Live’ transports you to a “virtual live concert venue”, but while it ramps up the excitement by emphasizing leading edges, it sacrifices some refinement and balance. ‘Surround’ and ‘3D-Sound’ options alter the impact of the various surround and height speakers and, consequently, your feeling of immersion.

There is also a no-frills ‘Pure’ mode, which is claimed to deliver an unfiltered sound with no added effects, but we don’t find the other settings detract too much from the overall quality of sound.

If you are driving solo, we’d suggest engaging the ‘VIP’ sound mode. This optimizes the sound for the driver’s seat, bringing the sound field more into focus, positioning it front and center, just above the top edge of your steering wheel.

You can hear the soundstage reorganize itself as it shifts more information over to the driver side, making the track sound fuller and more detailed with it.

We play Blinded By The Lights by The Streets, and our attention is drawn to the Burmester’s bass. We go into the menus to rein it in, and once that bass is under control, the system’s strengths are allowed to shine through. Mike Skinner’s matter-of-fact delivery comes through loud and clear with plenty of detail.

We switch to some ’80s electronica in OMD’s Electricity, and the Burmester system does a fine job of setting the sonic scene. There’s space around all the various elements: percussion, guitars, vocals and those playful electronic synths are all in focus and sharply drawn. The surround and overhead speakers give the system height and depth. The track’s playful electronic synths sound explicit and crisp, but stop short of sounding harsh.

In conclusion , what was one of the top sounds in the 2015-2017 is now solidly the best to date.


What is the MAGIC BODY CONTROL® with CURVE® function on the S-Class?

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a model many luxury car shoppers seek to own. With all of the luxurious technology features it offers, it isn’t difficult to see why this is a popular vehicle. One of the  is the MAGIC BODY CONTROL® with the CURVE® function. Take a look below to find out what this feature is and how you can use it.

2019 MB S-Class suspension system:North America , this $7,400 option is ONLY available on S65 V12 Coupes and Sedans

The new Mercedes S-Class Coupe knows how „to read” the road and glides elegantly through bends thanks the new functions of ABC suspension: Magic Body Control and Curve Tilting function.

Like the new S-Class saloon, Mercedes S-Class coupe is able to recognize the road undulations in advance with new Magic Body Control system.

The heart of the system is a stereo camera fitted behind the windscreen at the height of the rear-view mirror which scans the area up to 15 meters ahead and provides a precise image of the road surface. The control unit uses the camera images and the vehicle information to calculate the best suspension settings depending on the type of the road.

A stereo camera sees the road up to 15 meters ahead and chooses the best possible suspension settings

Once Road Surface Scan has detected undulations, Magic Body Control function of ABC suspension adjusts the damping of each individual wheel to a firmer or softer setting in advance and increases or reduces the load on the wheel with help of an active hydraulic system.  The adaption of the suspension is done in fractions of a second.

The system provides the best possible level of ride comfort but it has also some limitations. Because the information came from a stereo camera, the system works on the daylight in conditions of good visibility and at a speed of up to 130 km/h.

This system is available as an option in the new V8 versions of S-Class saloon and in the new S-Class Coupe(EU , Middle East Only).V12 models only elsewhere. For the S-Class Coupe(S65 V12) a new innovation was added: Curve tilting function.

Active Body Control (ABC) from Mercedes has four spring struts equipped with hydraulic cylinders (plungers) which adjusts the force in each spring strut individually.

With the curve tilting function, the base points of the steel springs integrated into ABC suspension are raised by plunger cylinders on one side of the vehicle and lowered on the other side depending on the bend. In this way, the vehicle inclines automatically and continuously on bends depending of the road angle and speed. Basically turns in like a motorcycle to spread cornering load across all 4 tires.

Curve Tilting function gives a sensation like you drive a motorcycle  

Like in case of Magic Body Control, the innovative system recognizes bends with the help of stereo camera which registers the curve up to 15 meters ahead and using ABC lateral acceleration sensor. The driver could select curve tilting function with the three position ABC switch which is active between 15 and 180 km/h in Curve mode. Alternatives are Comfort position (with Magic Body Control on) and Sport.

The system is very different and more efficient from the other type of systems (Citroen) and from the old ABC system  which adapt the pressure in hydraulic cylinders to reduce the body roll. In this case, the car is tilting in bends, glides more elegantly through bends and reduce the centrifugal forces with the result that the tyres life are not affected. Thus not the tyres take over the loads and lateral forces but the hydraulic cylinders.

THIS IS NOT AVAILBLE ON ANY S CLASS BUT THE 12 CYL S65!!

The Evolution of the 2019 M279.5 AMG, Affalterbach’s Legendary V12 Biturbo Engine

Throughout the years, carmakers who sought to develop high-performance engines for their sports cars have chosen to go with the twelve-cylinder design because of their smooth operation. While other configurations require counterweights or balancers to reduce vibrations, V12 powerplants are inherently well-balanced.
The first such engine built by Mercedes-Benz for road car use was the M120 introduced in 1991. Still, unlike other manufacturers who have been using V12s to power their sports cars for decades, the German manufacturer chose to fit it inside a luxury sedan, the 600 SE.

However, it made its way under the hood of the R129 SL a year later and throughout the years, it grew in displacement and performance thanks to the experts at AMG. Thus, it became the M297 at the heart of the 1997 CLK GTR race car, its street-legal version, and many track-oriented Pagani Zonda models.
 the M275, comes into play.
like its predecessors, it used an all-aluminum construction, but its block was drastically redesigned and reinforced to increase durability and cope with the added boost pressure. It borrowed the single overhead cam (SOHC) cylinder head design from the M137, but it was also heavily revised to improve performance and reliability.

The first version was a 5.5-liter that debuted in 2003 on the 600 series S, CL, and SL models. It was fitted with fracture-split forged steel conrods, two Borg-Warner K24 turbochargers with integrated manifolds, and air-to-water intercooling.

Depending on the model, its output ranged from 493 hp (368 kW) to 510 hp (380 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) to 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of torque. That same year, the manufacturer also offered a slightly modified version of this 5.5-liter dubbed M285 on the Maybach 57 and 62. It made 550 hp (410 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque.
However, this engine would become even more spectacular once AMG engineers got their hands on it. The first Affalterbach variant, called M275 AMG, was released in 2004 in cars like the S 65 or CL 65, as well as the S trims of the two Maybach models introduced a year later.

Engineers increased the bore and stroke from 82 mmx87 mm (3.23 inx3.43 in) to 82.6 mmx93 mm (3.25 inx3.66 in). Consequently, the displacement also grew from 5.5 to 6.0 liters. It featured reinforced pistons, larger fuel injectors, higher intake valve lift, and longer opening intervals, along with larger turbochargers.

In standard form, it could produce up to 603 hp and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm), while the peak boost stood at 22.1 psi (1.52 bar). Legend has it that it could deliver close to 900 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque, but AMG decided to limit this figure to maintain reliability.
In 2012, Mercedes decided that the future development of this V12 will be exclusively managed by AMG. Therefore, both the standard and high-performance versions of the M275 were extensively upgraded, becoming the M279 and M279 AMG.

They received new forged pistons and forged crankshaft made from high-grade quenched, tempered steel, new camshafts with even more aggressive profiles, hollow-stem sodium outlet valves, a new ECU, and ignition system. These upgrades led to even better reliability, but even more importantly, fuel economy and emissions were exponentially better.

The AMG unit was the first one to hit the streets in 2012 on the SL 65. It then powered other 65 models, and it’s still in use today on the Mercedes-Maybach S 680. The 2015 version 295 is equipped with new turbochargers, redesigned exhaust manifolds, new wastegate ducts, and new cylinder heads with optimized flow. At its highest, it could spit out 621 hp (463 kW).
Moreover, these engines were now mated to a seven-speed automatic instead of the older, five-speed variant.

The final variant was for the final build of MB V12's the 279.5. Produced in very low numbers in 2019, it offered easier servicing with a complete rerouting of vacuum lines to top of the engine and moved the ECU away from the heat in the V . Even better Turbos(KB04), improved air to water intercoolers, better waste gates. Now pushing closer to 650HP. These cars can be tuned with a $600 software flash to reliably make 750-850HP

This M279.5 AMG also served as the base design for the most powerful V12 ever to be assembled in Affalterbach, This 279.6 engine was built exclusively for Pagani Automobili and their gorgeous Huayra supercar. It featured a dry-sump lubrication system, a bespoke ECU developed by Bosch. The output was rated at 720 hp (537 kW) on standard models, whereas in the Imola, the most powerful street-legal Huayra, it went up to 827 hp (616 kW). The limited R track version makes 950HP

Since Mercedes-AMG currently focuses on electrification, the M275/9/9.5 engine family will go down in history as the German manufacturer's last line of twelve cylinders. It will also be remembered for its unmistakable low-pitch growl that soothes the heart and soul of even the most demanding gearhead. One of the finest engines ever built and refined to the nth degree falls in the move to electrics.

Technology features in the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The MAGIC BODY CONTROL® is an innovative technology feature that the S-Class offers. It uses 2 cameras on the windshield to scan the road ahead of the vehicle. Then, it evaluates the bumps and dips that are in the road and adjusts the suspension of the vehicle to compensate for it. The result? A smoother ride up to speeds of around 80 miles per hour.

The CURVE® function works in much the same way. However, this curve tilting function takes into account the tilting of a vehicle when the car turns and raises or lowers the suspension to keep the car level and your drive smooth.

***I have owned every make car with carbon ceramics, some great, some track only.
 These are BY FAR the best
Carbon Ceramics I have ever used, No cold squeal, no cold chatter, and
 compared to the very good steel brakes
on the S63,(which engage ABS as they bind at sudden stops) these 
give the  impression of driving an M3 with ceramics.
Absolutely smooth, light pressure pedal that
pulls down from insane speeds with not even a burp from the ABS. 
Truly amazing brakes!! Makes the car feel and drive
1000 pounds lighter. I have never even seen one with these brakes, and
 its a shame as the entire car is ever so
much more nimble. Just the year before they were $12,500, and worth 
every penny and a bargain at the current $9,000
Also rotors are  good for over 400,000 miles. Pads will last as long as 90,000 miles
ROTORS ARE AS NEW AS DELIVERED... NO GROOVING OR SCRATCHES!!!
Think of all the $6,200 
MB brake jobs you save.
And NO brake dust EVER! The rotors last an astounding 60 times longer
 than steel.
 They will last longer than your car.
All potential buyers need to call me 1st, before committing to the car.
 I want to be able to answer all questions, and approve
of payment. Any use of Buy it Now without prior authorization will be null and void

Be very cautious about AWD cars from the North east, The suspension , undercarriage, wiring, and 
brakes are rotted as they are driven year round. Sand and salt ruin the finish of the paint also. Cars
 for MN, Mich ,NY, Ohio, etc sell for about 40% Back of a Southern Ca car. They are cheap for a reason. 
Also most have massive amounts of paintwork from single car ice accidents that do not get reported 
to Carfax or Autocheck. If they look too cheap, keep looking!! Ultra high performance 2 wd on the other
 hand are usually garaged in the winter.  The S63 is AWD!! 
Remember It is not where the car is being sold but where it was driven is paramount

WHAT ARE THE POSITIVES OF CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES?

Carbon Ceramic discs are a great option for street driving because they have the following characteristics:

If the above benefits are important to you and you can afford them, carbon ceramic composite discs should certainly be a consideration when purchasing your next vehicle. While some enthusiasts cannot live with the wooden feel of a carbon ceramic brake system, they can offer superior road manners and performance.

AMG High-Performance Ceramic Composite Braking System

For this brake, two-piece rotors are made of carbon and ceramic compound – a material similar to what’s used in AMG F1 racecars – so they’re 40% lighter and require less pedal pressure. Bronze-colored 6-piston front calipers give them a striking look as your vehicle comes to a stop.

THE COST TO ADD THESE CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES WITH LABOR IS $37,000 FOR NON CERAMIC S65'S. These brakes also have 12 pounds less un sprung weight at each corner for better handling, roughly the same weight savings if the ultralight forged alloy wheels were replaced with $20,000 carbon wheels.

IMG_9270(edited) IMG_9269
Too the right is the original CA disclosure showing no faults found. Only CA and FL have these
insane consumer protection laws that forces manufacturers(Porsche, MB and BMW) to reacquire regardless of lack of real
 problems.
Just the consumer complaining is enough.

The left hand disclosure is the LA disclosure now that it has left CA instructing any DMV 
that the car no longer has any buyback nomenclature in the instructions
 as it is a clear title in virtually every state as CA buybacks do not exist outside CA. 
Car goes through a full CPO inspection and has to be 
certified to the state of California (or Florida, the only other state with this insane law) the car has zero issues of any sort.

Thanks for looking. Price reduced from 177K . MB would not sell it for less than 225K
Took 11 months of dogging them to get this. The only car I have purchased since 2019.
If you do not recognize what a deal this is, sorry, but I cannot help you. Far rarer than
a Ferrari Enzo. Or the Pagani Heuyra which shares this M295.5 V12 engine

FULL ORIGONAL MERCEDES BENZ FACTORY NEW 4 YEAR/50,000 Warranty was EFFECTIVE TILL EARLY 2024 !!
CA extensive emission's warranty covering computers, tranny, turbos, intercoolers, Cats, and much more for another 4 years.
